But awhile ago, I wanted to do some repetitive task that required sending keystrokes to a windows application and it seemed like WSH was the most convenient option. (Is there a way to do this with python, etc.?) Plus, as silly as it sounds, I'm most familiar with javascript out of all the scripting languages (although python is on my list). Michael
